Rubbing alcohol can indeed help get rid of blackheads.
It has antibacterial properties that can help cleanse the pores and reduce blackheads.
However, it can also be harsh on the skin and may cause irritation for some people.
It’s always a good idea to do a patch test before using rubbing alcohol on your face and to consult with a dermatologist for personalized advice.
